Last Notes npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Aren‘t they obliged to list the ingredients on the packaging? npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Turn it around and read the fineprint. That‘s what I do over here. Usually when it doesn‘t say „peet free“ it contains peet. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta And yet most people just don’t care. And politicians serve them, not reason. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta GLS Bank #GLSBank #RoteHilfe npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Oh my! I have ONE! 😂 What do you do with these? npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta After 2 frustrating seasons, 2025 is a fantastic year for #tomatoes. This is what I just harvested. Great outcome, very sweet, most plants almost done. That’s early for my garden. So far just one plant infested with blight: Nero di Crimea, the dark tomato on the right edge. I disposed of the plant and won‘t sow it again. Had it three years in a row. It is prone to catch blight, has a floury texture and weak taste. Best: Sunviva, Honey Drop, Vessenji Mieurinskij, Costoluto Fiorentino. #gardening npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Lunch from the garden. #tomatoes #gardening #Sunviva npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta More #tomatoes and 2 pumpkins (I used the seeds from supermarket pumpkins) npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta #Sunviva #FOSS #tomatoes are the best! 😍😍😍 I return from 2 weeks vacation and as every year, Sunviva delivers and completely outperforms the others. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Interesting. My raspberries were ready before the blueberries. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Interesting sqash and the eggplants shine so beautifully! 😍 npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta 2nd try (or 3rd if you count last year) with the #pulsesincrease #beans of the #increaseCSE citizen science project. It took them 17 days to sprout on wet kitchen paper. Now I waited a bit too long but finally planted the four remaining varieties #incbn_00000 Meccearly (control), #incbn_03547 Stringless Black Wax (USA), #incbn_00114 Saris Lobio (GE) and #incbn_00087 Boyaca 22 (CO). npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Remember that #bean sprout that broke through the soil two days ago? Now it‘s growing as it it were on steroids. #increaseCSE #pulsesincrease npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta After getting just 2 plants from 18 #increaseCSE #beans, I put some beans from last year‘s harvest in a box with wet kitchen paper. Now, 17 days later I had to remove three beans due to mold infection but the others are sprouting! npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Die ersten #Zucchini sind schon da! npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Hallo #Dortmund - hier könnt Ihr Euch an der Gestaltung der Kampstraße beteiligen. Nutzt die Gelegenheit, Eure Vidion mitzuteilen! https://plan-portal.de/kampstrasse/ npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta The first #seedling of my annual #Pulse #IncreaseCSA #beans is there! Took only five days. 🥰🫛 npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta 2 things I‘ve learned during the #IncreaseCSA last year: npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Oof, nah. Too expensive, too dependend on the availability of cooling water (see France), too dangerous, still no resolution of nuclear waste storage, welcome excuse for countries to gain weapons material. Renewables are the answer. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Good thing but we still need to move away from burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Tomaten nach nur vier Tagen! 😍😍😍 npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Wow! Das ging schnell! Sonnenblumen zuerst, dicht gefolgt von Sonnenhut. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta I‘m late but not too late. 😊 npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Good news for #EuropeanAlternatives: The German „Zentrum für digitale Souveränität“, ZenDiS, is now in the Fediverse: @npub1u0l…wvvv delivering open source solutions for the public sector. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Opinions on the Vivaldi browser? npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta The difference is that we value individual life. Putin doesn‘t care if 20.000 or 30.000 more Russians from the edge of his realm die. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Ah yes. Thought it coincided with current events. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Coincidentally (?) George Orwell‘s life was the subject of WDR‘s radio show Zeitzeichen today (German language brosdcast): https://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/audio/zeitzeichen/index.html npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta True, I haven‘t figured out what distinguishes a squash from a pumpkin. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Interesting, I even didn‘t know that pumpkins or squash are a thing in Japan. When I was there I tried a lot of things - including horse sashimi - but pumpkin only once as an American inspired desert around Halloween. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta oh I hought it was for self-punishment. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Good Morning #LateBloomers! #Bloomscrolling npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Ich war vor Jahren auf einer Musikvertriebsmesse in Tempelhof. Faszinierend, dass da noch die alten Holzverkleidungen mit Schnitzereien als Garderobe waren. Ich hoffe, das rührt niemand an. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Mom‘s greenhouse vegetables still going strong. #gardening #vegetablegrowing npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Our #sunset yesterday npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Was vom Sommer übrig blieb npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Höre ich die falschen Nachrichten (ÖRR), oder warum lese ich das nur hier? npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta 2.1 kg nutmeg pumpkin from a seed taken off a supermarket pumpkin half the size. It‘s fun to propagate vegetables like this. 🥰 Also works well with Hokkaido and butternut pumpkin. npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta Amaranth? So it‘s beautiful and edible? npub1wumm9p9a2le2yz7cdhlq6h03u4z5maw6hxmlryqy6k0fwfk356uq0m23sx Erica Laeta The joy of #tomato #gardening
